The good news: The Colorado Department of Transportation plans to repave two bridges over Interstate 25, making for a smoother drive for some Northern Colorado commuters.

The bad news: Roadwork will cause overnight closures on the bridges.

The two bridges — the Prospect Road bridge in Fort Collins and the Cleveland Avenue bridge in Wellington — are set for closure between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. On those nights, crews will be milling off the top layer of the road, which will make them a rougher ride until the roads are repaved next week, according to a Colorado Department of Transportation news release.

The bridges will close overnight again Sept. 17-21 as crews complete paving.

The on- and off-ramps will stay open so drivers can get to the frontage roads.
